Bug's Apocalypse
By David Celia

Amber is the sap from which the ancient bigs were trapped
Within the system that they took part of
Like buildings or a tree they lived on

They were climning up the tree like you or me in an elevator
Finding food just like we make money
To buy things we like to play with after we eat, or sleep

And spend their time in an amber shell for thousands of years
We have succumbed to ponder upon this and drink our beers

So I sat down and I wrote these words but I had to sing them slowly
'Cause it coincides with the time it took for humans to discover bugs
And animals that were trapped inside the sap
That was running down a tree

So I wonder what it means
Why the bugs means something anymore
I guess the point is that we care enough to watch them frozen in their time
We pine over what they did and what they thought
Instead of noticing the things we do ourselves today

Restaurants, Barber shops, Vietnam, Bank machines
Mobile phones, solar eclipse
This is our apocalypse
